Super Famicom Games (Japan)
Japanese Super Famicom games, from big-name RPGs to small releases that only ever came out in Japan. Japanese boxes are often in better shape than their Western counterparts, and many still have the manual, the registration card and the inner tray. Every copy is photographed as it is.
Compatibility: Plays on a Japanese Super Famicom. A European SNES has the same cartridge shape but a lockout chip, and a US SNES has plastic tabs in the slot that block Japanese cartridges, so both need a converter or a modded console. A few games also refuse to run on a 50 Hz machine.

Buying Japanese games
Japanese copies are often in better shape than European ones, they tend to cost less, and a lot of great games only ever came out in Japan. A few things are worth knowing before you buy.
Will Japanese games work on my European console?
It depends on the console. Game Boy, Game Boy Color, Game Boy Advance, Nintendo DS and PSP games are region free and work anywhere. Most home consoles are region locked, so you need a Japanese console, a converter or a modded machine. Every game page has a short note on what that particular system needs.
What does complete in box (CIB) mean?
The game comes with its original box and manual. If extras like a spine card, registration card or map are included, they are listed separately on the product page.
How do you grade condition?
Box, manual and cartridge or disc each get their own grade, from Mint down to Poor. The photos show the copy you get, not a stock image, and any flaw worth mentioning is written in the description.
Do I need to read Japanese to play?
Not for action games, shooters, platformers or most sports and racing games. RPGs and adventure games are text heavy, so check whether an English release or a fan translation exists if that matters to you.
Can I combine games and records in one order?
Yes. Everything ships from Sweden in one parcel, and shipping is worked out on the total weight.
Do you buy Japanese games?
Yes, both single games and whole collections. Get in touch through the sell page with a list or a few photos.
